Let the Trumpies and Maskholes argue it out on social media and in their chatrooms, but keep them the hell out of our stores, bars, restaurants and theaters. Enough is enough! The German Parliament just mandated that all workers in healthcare settings must be fully vaccinated to maintain their employment, a rule already in place in Greece, France, and Italy.

They will also be deciding soon whether to extend a mandatory lockdown to all unvaccinated Germans across the entire nation.

The Financial Times noted the country will be doing what Austria mandated last month:

"Using what is known in Germany as the '2G' rule, soon only the vaccinated and those who have recovered from Covid will be able to go into shops and cultural institutions. Once the rules are implemented, a household of vaccine holdouts will only be able to meet two people from another household."

Meanwhile, here in the United States, four Trump-appointed judges have put the kibosh on President Biden's plan to use OSHA rules to require vaccination of workers in large companies and the healthcare industry.

Why would these Republican partisans in judicial drag make such nakedly idiotic rulings, knowing they will lead to more death and disability?
